Hi Jason, I got rid of this one: "Unable to authenticate to AFS because Authentication Server was unavailable." That appeared to be a firewall issue.
I do see the timeout happening, every so many minutes, did anyone solve that port. (The head node of that clusters runs IPtables/NAT so that all the nodes can use AFS as a "common file system" for running MPICH apps) The authentication server was running. Other clients don't have any issues at all. (it was a masquerading issue on the head node of that cluster.) thanks, Ron (PS: "not too many" AFS guru's here.. that's why I am on the list) Jason Edgecombe wrote: > Ron Croonenberg wrote: >> Hello all, >> >> I hope I am not beating a dead horse here (I saw some references, but >> not a solution). >> >> I have a few machines in a cluster, and installed openafs on the nodes, >> the client is running (I can see the mountpoints in /afs) But when I try >> to get a token with klog it says >> >> Unable to authenticate to AFS because Authentication Server was unavailable. >> >> any ideas ? is that the timeout issue people were talking about ? >> (is there a solution ?) >> > It sounds like your cell isn't running the legacy authentication server > (kaserver).
